But for now, it appears as though the Grand Bend native wants to set- tle down in this area and help local skaters improve. After spending nearly 20 years on the mad she is going to be set- ting up a skating school in Hensall this fall and in the winter will be coaching in Zurich and Forest. "I've moved back to the area hop- ing to get something going," she said. The Hensall Fall Skating School will rout from September 11 to Oc- tober 7 with the tentative test day set for October 8. Other coaches at the school include Joe Girooard, Marg Carey and Shelley Dosses. it's the little ones we want, the six, seven and eight year olds," said Walker. This summer, there was a skating school in Lucan, which in its first year was very successful. Walker said more schools are needed in this area "I think there is a lot of opportu- nity here. I don't think there has been anything established. If we get the off-season schools going they (skaters) won't have far to go." After attending Fanshawe Col- lege in London, Walker began her skating coaching career in New- foundland where she thought it was just going to be a summer job. "I happen to fall into skating. I was going to work in the Bend for the summer after Fanshawe and they called me and said would I like to coach." Well, Walker jumped at the chance and was in St. Johns from 1971 to 1976, where she had to learn a lot about the sport including choreography and where she pro- duced and directed five ice shows. "The types of ice shows I've been involved in are club shows: The one in Newfoundland was four days and we packed it every night," -she said of the shows' popularity. Getting involved in so many as- pects of figure skating so quickly came as a surprise to Walker. "When you're in a club in New- foundland, you're it. Here's 500 kids and just do it." A Canadian Figure Skating Asso- Marcy Walker ciation Technical Level 3 coach, Walker was in New Brunswick with different clubs from 1976 until 1983 before coming to Kitchener. Since 1983 she has assisted with the Canadian Precision Champion- ships, the Junior Worlds held in Kitchener in 1985 and sat on the precision committee for the Kitch- ener-Watlerloo Skating Club. She said precision skating, which is a large group skating in unison, is becoming very popular in Onta- rio. "It's a little bit cheaper and it keeps them involved. ICs a great team sport You try and make it competitive but fun. It's pretty seri- ous stuff right now." Figure skating, at the club level, has always been female dominated but Walker said one way in getting boys interested is have them com- pete in pairs. "It's still a macho thing with a lot of people. Getting boys involved in pairs skating helps their interest a lot," she said. Walker's list of coaching accom- plishment is very long and it in- cludes guiding provincial champi- ons in Newfolundland and New Brunswick and conducting semi- nars and constantly upgrading her own credentials as a coach.
